All processing happens in your browser. No files are uploaded.
brevtool is a free, GDPR-compliant suite of online tools that processes PDF, image, video, audio, and data files — directly in your browser with no file uploads. No personal data is collected, transmitted, or stored on any server.
Why GDPR Compliance Matters for Online Tools
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires that any processing of personal data has a lawful basis, is limited to the stated purpose, and provides data subjects with rights over their information. Most online file tools process personal data on their servers — creating obligations around consent, data retention, access requests, and breach notification.
For organizations subject to GDPR, using server-based file tools introduces compliance overhead: Data Processing Agreements must be signed, records of processing activities must be maintained, data transfers outside the EU must be assessed, and breach notification procedures must cover the tool provider's infrastructure. Each third-party tool adds to this compliance burden.
brevtool eliminates GDPR compliance complexity for file processing by design. Since no file data is transmitted to any server, there is no personal data processing to regulate. No DPA is needed, no cross-border transfer assessment is required, and no breach notification obligation exists — because there is no server-side data handling to breach.
How GDPR Compliance by Design Works
No data collection
Files are processed in your browser's memory. No file content, metadata, or user data is sent to brevtool's servers.
No data storage
Processed files exist only in your browser session. When you close the tab, all data is cleared. There is nothing to retain or delete.
No data transfer
Since processing is local, there are no cross-border data transfers to assess under GDPR Chapter V.
Verifiable privacy
You can confirm no data transmission by checking your browser's Network tab. The privacy claim is independently verifiable by any user.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a DPA to use brevtool?
No. A Data Processing Agreement is only needed when a service processes personal data on your behalf. Since brevtool processes no data on any server, no DPA is required.
Can I use brevtool for processing EU citizen data?
Yes. Because all processing happens in your browser and no data is transmitted externally, there are no GDPR compliance concerns. There is no data processing to regulate.
Does brevtool track users?
brevtool uses Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics service that collects no personal data and uses no cookies. File content and usage data are never tracked.
How does this compare to server-based tools under GDPR?
Server-based tools require DPAs, consent mechanisms, data retention policies, breach notification plans, and cross-border transfer assessments. brevtool requires none of these because no personal data is processed server-side.
